How TrueLock Works
TrueLock uses exact position and the
actual frequency of a signal to eliminate it
as a false alarm. Once a signal is locked out,
a box is created (approximately a 1⁄2 mile
radius) around that location to lock it out
from all directions.
NOTE: Thoroughly look around
and make sure that no real radar is
being used to monitor your speed
before you manually lock out a signal.
Automatic door openers use more
than one source, so TrueLock will
automatically lock out other X and K-band
sources in close proximity of the first to
captures these.
If you accidentally lock out a real
threat, (visually see the officer) simply
press and hold the Mute button to unlock
it from PASSPORT’s memory.

How TotalShield Works
ESCORT’s TotalShield Technology keeps
RF signals from radiating from the
detector. Unlike other radar and laser
detectors, which merely move their RF
signals (local oscillators) to another
frequency (which will be detectable by
future detector-detectors), this
revolutionary design keeps you unseen by
current radar detector-detectors,
including VG-2 and Spectre. This unique
design will also keep you unseen from any
future radar detector detectors as well.
Although the PASSPORT 9500ci is a
completely undetectable radar, laser and
safety detector, driving techniques and
reactions to alerts can still draw unwanted
attention. Here are a few examples:
1. Hitting the brakes immediately when
the 9500ci provides an alert can broadcast
use of a detector.
2. Traveling at night with a glow from a
radar detector’s display visible from
outside your vehicle can also draw
unwanted attention. The 9500ci offers
adjustable brightness, including a full dark
mode which will provide audio alerts, but
no visual indication.
How AutoLearn Works
AutoLearn uses TrueLock to lock out false
alerts, however signals are locked out
automatically over time vs. manually using
the Mute button.
As you drive, PASSPORT records
location and frequency for each signal
detected. If that same signal (by
frequency) is in the same location
approximately three (3) times, AutoLearn
will automatically lock it out as a false
alarm. A “stored” message will be
displayed, accompanied by a low-level
alert.
How Auto Unlearn Works
Auto Unlearn automatically unlocks stored
TrueLock signals if they are not present in
the same location. This is particularly
useful if you accidently lock out a true
threat, or if an officer is parked in a
shopping mall with automatic door
openers.
How GPS Works
The Global Positioning
System (GPS) is made up of
twenty four orbiting satellites and was
developed by the U.S. military. There are
at least four satellites visible at any given
time every day.
A GPS receiver is designed to locate
and receive data from four of these
satellites. This data includes the distance
to your location from each of the satellites.
Once the distance from each satellite is
known, the receiver can calculate and
pinpoint your exact location.
